Tiny Tree was created with the vision of the stark whiteness of a bare white birch and the contrast of silver. It’s very minimalist on one level yet the complexity of the limbs reaching out embraces you. I use a wire armature covered in several layers of joint compound on gypsum drywall board to simplify hanging. White and silver acrylic paint are sealed with matte polycrylic. It has a sawtooth hook for hanging. 12″ x 10″ x 4″
